Wing Tzun

The martial art was developed more than 250 years ago in China by the nun NG Mui and the beautiful Yim Wing Tsun, after whom the martial art is named. Thanks to their highly developed martial art technique these two women could win fights with the strongest men of their time. Since then WT had been taught practically only within families and clans. The great master Yip Man who died in 1972, was the last Wing Tsun teacher who taught Chinese students exclusively. Today there are tens of thousands of members worldwide (in over 56 countries) who are learning this martial art system which was updated by Leung Ting, Yip Man's latest master-pupil. The European Chief-instructor, Dai Sifu K. R. Kernspecht, brought the WT system to Europe twenty years ago and has since trained several generations of highly qualified martial arts instructors in the European Wing Tsun Organization.

WT is self defense in it's most consequent form
WT is the smartest self-defense system ever thought of by humankind, because :
WT is not based upon physical strength or acrobatic ability and therefore allows a physically weaker person to defend him/herself.
WT teaches you to use the force of the opponent and turn it against him.
WT self defense movements derive from tactile reflexes that are mechanical and directly determined by the attack of the opponent.
In this way WT is not susceptible to optical manipulations meant to mislead the fighter.
WT can be learned fairly quickly and built upon.
WT meets the demands of "appropriate force" and therefore lends itself for use by law enforcement.
WT is a whole martial arts system. Its significance lies less in stylistic externals and tricks but in the revolutionary totality of the concept! Immediacy, the small number of movements used, etc., make Wing Tsun the fastest martial art system ever !

Number Of Movements
WT is conceived in such a way that one can manage a fight effectively with just a few movements. The best self defense is one that can fend off the most attacks with the least amount of movements!

Movements That Are Used Simultaneously
We can perform up to three different movement patterns at the same time.

The Four Ways Of "Force"
In dealing with "force", there are four principles in WT:

1. Be free from your own "force".
2. Free yourself from the "force" of your opponent.
3. Use the "force" of the opponent.
4. Add your own "force" to the "force" of the opponent.

Through intense training WT students learn to "borrow" the energy of the attack by way of a sort of controlled and deliberate "giving in". The attacked body parts get "charged up" in such a way that they redirect the power of the opponent immediately and with the whole force of impact with which it was dealt out.

Chain Punches
Once a WT-fighter has gained his/her advantage by a punch he/she doesn't just give it up but lets other chain-punches follow the first. This is one of the most effective arms at all , traditional martial arts know of no means to counter them. The quick sequence of punches overwhelms the capacities of the opponent to process information as he is driven into a helpless defense.

The "Universal Solution", the "Lenter Line", Etc.
The economy of WT manifests itself in all corners and ends of this martial art and provides surprises and eye-openers to even the most advanced students.
